Subject: xhci: fix null pointer dereference in stop command timeout function
From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit bcf42aa60c2832510b9be0f30c090bfd35bb172d upstream.
The stop endpoint command has its own 5 second timeout timer.
If the timeout function is triggered between USB3 and USB2 host
removal it will try to call usb_hc_died(xhci_to_hcd(xhci)->primary_hcd)
the ->primary_hcd will be set to NULL at USB3 hcd removal.
Fix this by first checking if the PCI host is being removed, and
also by using only xhci_to_hcd() as it will always return the primary
hcd.
